a busted pile of a day...

accountability.
that's some grown-up sh!t, my ninjas.
admitting when you're wrong.
owning up to you own mistakes, missteps and missed missions.
taking resposibilty for your actions and their outcomes.
it isn't any kind of easy,
but it's some true-life really real test-of-adulthood action.
it's really just another variation on just being dope,
or failing that,
F*ing right off....
sometimes, being dope is really mutha-flippin' hard,
but acknowledging your own fallibilty is even harder.
mistakes don't define you,
unless you let 'em.
rather,
how you proceed after F*n' up is even more important.

miscommunication is twice as awful to professional wordsmiths.
that's the 'uckin' truth.
and those miscommunicated misunderstandings, ya'll,
when occurring in the tattoo world, are the supremely worst kind.
the absolute worst ever....
full-blown stomach-sick, hot ears, panic attack horrible.
sometimes,
underarticulated ideas constitute a minor mishap,
or a semi-permanent problem.
making it right, however,
while almost inconceivably more humiliating,
and cripplingly hubris destroying,
and frustrating for everyone,
and a complete bummer, to boot...
is the mark of a truly competent communicator.
the good news is that while culpability is split down the middle
between the getters and the 'zappers,
there's almost always a way to figure it out.
if at first you can't be dope,
but F*ing right off doesn't appeal to your ass either,
well,
you better turn up the magical medicine magic to eleven,
and get busy doin' the right thing.
whatever that entails.
that's accountability.
and accountability is manly, b!tches.
that may even explain my sexy beard, huh?
you may have already guessed as much,
but there's some non-situationally specific personal narrative here.
suffice to say my manlines is in full-blown overdrive over here.
and i think there's a happy ending.
at least, i feel like there should be one.
to err is human, they say,
and to accept it, improve on it,
and bring the 'uckin' thunder
is barbarian battle-beastly.
right or wrong, i'll take responsibilty,
every single time;
never quiet, never soft....
